I think this might be a hardware problem because I'd imagine somebody would have noticed it by now. I noticed it today when I was writing some text with geany running Puppy 2.00.
After copying the text and pasting it to this blog sort-of-thing online, I right-clicked on geany (minimized in the task bar) and selected "Close". That closed all of X and threw me to the command line where I typed "xwin" and had to restart all the apps, although otherwise x worked ok.
I then thought "hey, this is an older version, maybe it's fixed later", so I booted up 2.12, tested, and the same thing happened.

Any idea what might be the cause? Is it software or hardware? I have yet to try with other hardware because the CD/DVD drive of our other computer decided to stop working just yesterday... can't boot puppy on that now

EDIT: would like to note that I can still close geany safely by opening the geany window then clicking the X at the top right of the window. Also I seem to be able to close all other apps normally from the taskbar...

i should add that geany always crashes (it disappears, changes lost) on me when the search text dialog is opened for the 2nd time. 1st time it's ok. ctrl-f or click the menu option, same outcome. usually have 2 or 3 tabs open. neat editor btw.
2.12 frugal.

I know this is an old thread but this exact problem happens to me with Puppy 2.14 with Geany 0.10 and JWM.

It is safest to close Geany with the X in the top right hand corner of the window.

Also often Geany gets stuck, I can't minimise Geany to the taskbar. I need to use the little minimise icon in the top right hand corner.
